[OrangeHRM v3.0.1] How to edit or remove the footer copyright text and social icons on the login page

1. To edit or remove the footer text on the login and post-login pages 

Edit the _copyright.php file, path:

\symfony\apps\orangehrm\templates\_copyright.php

The file contents are the following:

Line
1     <?php
2     $version = '3.1.1';
3     $prodName = 'OrangeHRM';
4     $copyrightYear = date('Y');
5    
6     ?>
7     <?php echo $prodName . ' ' . $version;?><br/>
8     &copy; 2005 - <?php echo $copyrightYear;?> <a href="http://www.orangehrm.com" target="_blank">OrangeHRM, Inc</a>. All rights reserved.
9    

 You can edit this as you want.  Here is my suggestion if you want to remove everything, delete lines 7, 8 and 9:

Line
1     <?php
2     $version = '3.1.1';
3     $prodName = 'OrangeHRM';
4     $copyrightYear = date('Y');
5    
6     ?>

This will now look like:

This is quite a nice, clean result.

However, if you want to have custom text in there try this:

Line
1     <?php
2     $version = '3.1.1';
3     $prodName = 'OrangeHRM';
4     $copyrightYear = date('Y');
5    
6     ?>
7     <br/>
8     &copy; <?php echo $copyrightYear;?> Company Name. All rights reserved.

 This will look like:

2. Remove the social sharing links from the footer

Let's be honest that's quite unprofessional, would you really deploy OrangeHRM in to your workplace leaving those links there?  Not me.

We can quite easily apply a CSS mod to remove them.

Edit main.css, path:

\symfony\web\webres_521db8499614c0.51100681\themes\default\css\main.css

/symfony/web/webres_521db8499614c0.51100681/themes/default/css/main.css - See more at: http://unofficialmods.blogspot.co.uk/#sthash.4BDZbVgh.dpuf

Depending on if you have modified main.css before, go to about line 351 or 353.  In my case it is line 353, alternatively search for the text #social-icons

This section should look like:

Line
353     #social-icons {
354        margin-top: 5px;
355     }

 After line 353 add display:none; so it should look like this:

Line
353     #social-icons {
354        display:none;
355        margin-top: 5px;
356     }

 Save the changes and refresh the browser on the login page, the social icons will not display now.
